Green Challenge #8 – Green Cleaning
Sorry for the delay on the Green Challenge everyone! I’ve been super busy lately with traveling, work, etc. that I didn’t have time to write up a Green post, but now here I am!

Did you all catch my guest post on Heather’s blog on Friday? I wrote about a Green Christmas, go check it out! — One of the hot topics this year when talking about a Green Christmas is the Christmas tree. Is a real tree eco-friendly? Are fake trees bad for the environment?? (source) All in all, I believe getting a real tree for Christmas is the better option for those of you wishing to stay green this holiday season.
